Steve Lopez writes beautifully - he's insightful, sensitive and relates his story succinctly. The story of Mr. Lopez's perseverance and ultimate deep friendship with Nathaniel Ayers is heartwarming. Nathaniel, who is homeless, is a very bright, many faceted individual with a mental illness which is clearly described. One would not think there could be humor in such a story but there is and the book leaves one with a feeling of optimism for Nathaniel's future.

Wonderful book--inspirational--a very good read
